This invention also includes novel synthetic intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of Formula I described in Examples 1-12 below.

DETAILS OF THE INVENTION

Compounds of Formula I can be prepared by the methods described in Equations 1 and 2.

Equation 1 ##STR7##

The reaction shown in Equation 1 is carried out by contacting the phenyl carbamate of Formula (3) with the aminoheterocycle of Formula (2) in an inert organic solvent such as dioxane or tetrahydrofuran at temperatures of about 20° to 100° C. for a period of about one-half to twenty-four hours. The product can be isolated by evaporation of the reaction solvent and purified by trituration of the evaporation residue with solvents such as 1-chlorobutane or ethyl ether and filtration, by recrystallization from mixtures of solvents such as 1,2-dichloroethane, 1-chlorobutane and heptane or by chromatography on silica gel.

The phenyl carbamates of Formula (3) can be prepared by the reaction of a sulfonamide of Formula (4), Equation 2, with diphenylcarbonate in the presence of a base (for example, aqueous potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide) as described in EPO No. 44,808 or South African Patent Application No. 825042 (or modifications thereof).

Equation 2 ##STR8##

The reaction of Equation 2 can be carried out by contacting equimolar amounts of the sulfonamide of Formula (4) with a heterocyclic phenyl carbamate of Formula (5) in the presence of an equimolar amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), by methods analogous to those described in South African Patent Application No. 830441. The phenyl carbamates of Formula (5) can be prepared by methods (or modifications thereof) described in South African Patent Application No. 825671 and South African Patent Application No. 825045 by reacting phenylchloroformate with the corresponding amino pyrimidine.

The sulfonamides of Formula (4) can be prepared by the methods shown in Equations 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Halopyridine-carboxylic acid derivatives of Formula (6) (Equation 3) can be prepared by methods known in the art or modifications thereof such as those described by S. G. Woods et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem., Vol. 21, p. 97 (1984) by L. Testaferri et al., in Tetrahedron, Vol. 41, p. 1373 (1975) and in The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds: Pyridine and Its Derivatives, Vol. 14, Interscience Publishers, Inc., New York.

Compound (6) is treated with potassium benzylthiolate in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at temperatures of about 100° to 150° C. for a period of about two hours as described by S. G. Woods et al. (op. cit.). The product (7) can be isolated by acidification and filtration.

The acid (7) is converted to amide (9) by treatment with excess thionylchloride and amination with two moles of dialkylamine in an inert organic solvent, for example, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride or ethyl acetate. The product (9) can be isolated by evaporation of the reaction solvent.

The reaction shown in Equation 3(d) is carried out by contacting sulfide (9) with sodium hypochlorite in an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid using procedures which are known in the art such as those disclosed in South African Patent Application No. 84/8844 or by treatment of (9) with chlorine in an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. The sulfonyl chloride is converted to sulfonamide (4) by contact with ammonia. The product can be isolated by evaporation of the solvent.

Compound (7a), where the benzylthio group is in the ortho position relative to the pyridine nitrogen, can also be prepared by alkylation of the orthomercaptopyridine (6a) with a benzyl halide in the presence of a base, for example, sodium hydroxide.

Equation 3 ##STR9## Equation 4 ##STR10##

Halopyridinethiol derivatives of Formula (11) (Equation 4) can be prepared by methods known in the art or modifications thereof such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,456,258 and by Grassetti et al. in J. Chromatography, Vol. III, p. 121 (1969) or from the halopyridin-4-ols as described in Den Hertog et al. in Rec. Trav. Chim., Vol. 70, p. 353 (1951) and M. S. Newman and H. A. Karnes, in J. Org. Chem., Vol. 31, p. 410 (1966). The reaction shown in Equation 4a is carried out by contacting thiol (11) with sodium hypochlorite according to the procedure of L. H. McKendry et al. (op. cit.). Treatment of the sulfonamide (12) with potassium cyanide using methods described by Testaferri et al. (op. cit.) and hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide (March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd Edition, pp. 809-810, McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1977) gives acid (13). The acid is converted to amide (4) by contact with thionyl chloride and amination with two moles of dialkylamine. The product can be isolated by evaporation of the solvent.

Equation 5 ##STR11##

Diazonium derivatives of Formula (14) (Equation 5) can be prepared by methods known in the art or by modifications thereof such as those described by Blanz et al. in J. Med. Chem., Vol. 6, p. 185 (1963). The reaction shown in Equation 5a is carried out by contacting diazonium salt (14) with benzylthiol. Conversion of the acid (15) to amide (16) is accomplished by treatment with thionyl chloride and amination with two moles of dialkylamine. Reaction 5c is carried out according to the procedure of L. H. McKendry et al. (op. cit.) to give sulfonamide (4).

Equation 6 ##STR12##

Pyridinesulfonyl halides of Formula (17) (Equation 6) can be prepared from the corresponding thiols, sulfides or sulfonic acids by methods known in the art, including those described above, or modifications thereof. The reaction shown in Equation 6a is carried out by contacting sulfonyl halide (17) with tert-butylamine. The ortho-carboxamide (19) is prepared from (18) by a modification of the method described by Queguiner in Synthesis, p. 822 (1983). The tert-butylsulfonamide (19) is converted to amide (4) by contact with trifluoroacetic acid.

Equation 7 ##STR13##

The sulfonamide (19) (Equation 6) is also available by the route of Equation 7. The pyridine ester (20) can be prepared by contacting acid chloride (8) with an alcohol (R_(x) is alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl). Sulfonyl chloride (21) is then obtained by treating (20) with sodium hypochlorite in an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid using procedures which are known in the art, such as those disclosed in South African Patent Application No. 848844. The sulfonyl chloride (21) is converted to the sulfonamide (22) by reaction with t-butylamine. Amide (19) is obtained by contacting (22) with the appropriate amine. The product is isolated by evaporation of the solvent.

Equation 8 ##STR14##

The acids (7) (Equation 3) can also be prepared as described in Equation 8. Contacting pyridine carboxylic acids (23) with thionyl chloride affords acid chloride (24). Amide (25) is obtained upon treatment of (24) with an aromatic amine. Sulfide (26) is then prepared from (25) by a modification of the method of Epsztajn, et al. Tetrahedron Letters 1983, 4735. Carboxylic acid (7) is prepared from (26) by base hydrolysis. The product is isolated by acidification.

The heterocyclic amines of Formula (2) are known compounds. ##STR15## For a review of the synthesis and reactions of 2-aminopyrimidines see The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 16, Wiley-Interscience, New York (1962).

Formulations

Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% to 99.9% solid or liquid diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:

Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.

Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J., but other solids, either mined or manufactured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide," 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0° C. "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., as well as Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foaming, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, and the like.

The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or fluid energy mill. Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1973, pages 8 to 57 and following.

Utility

Corn (maize) is a very important cereal crop, providing animal feed as well as food for human consumption. As with all crops, high yields depend on good control of unwanted plants to minimize competitive effects on the crop. Since corn is a grass, it is particularly difficult to control other grasses competing with the crop. Many of the compounds of this invention control weeds in corn both pre- and postemergence without significant crop damage. Such compounds are particularly useful to control such problem weeds as the foxtail (Setaria spp.), fall panicum (Panicum dichotomiflorum), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgallis), seedling johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) and shattercane (Sorghum bicolor). They can be used preemergence or postemergence and are most effective when applied postemergence to young weeds. They are also effective on certain broadleaf weeds such as lambsquarter (Chenopodium album), pigweed (Amaranthus spp.) and jimsonweed (Datura stramonium). The rate used can vary from about 0.5 g/ha to 1000 g/ha depending on the number and age of weeds present, soil type, climate, formulation used and method of application. One of ordinary skill in the art can readily select the exact rate and method of application that will provide the desired herbicidal efficacy.

The compounds of this invention may be used in combination with other commercial herbicides. They are particularly useful in combination with the following herbicides.

Test A

Seeds of crabgrass (Digitaria sp.), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), giant foxtail (Setaria faberi), wild oats (Avena fatua), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), morningglory (Ipomoea spp.), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), sorghum, corn, soybean, sugarbeet, cotton, rice, wheat, barley and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers were planted and treated preemergence with the test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. At the same time, these crop and weed species were treated with a soil/foliage application. At the time of treatment, the plants ranged in height from 2 to 18 cm. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for sixteen days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually rated for response to treatment. The ratings, summarized in Table A, are based on a numerical scale extending from 0=no injury, to 10=complete kill. The accompanying descriptive symbols have the following meanings:

C=chlorosis/necrosis;

B=burn;

D=defoliation;

E=emergence inhibition;

G=growth retardation;

H=formative effect;

U=unusual pigmentation;

X=axillary stimulation;

Postemergence

Three round pans (25 cm diameter by 12.5 cm deep) were filled with Sassafras sandy loam soil. One pan was planted with nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers, crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), sicklepod (Cassia Obtusifolia), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), rice (Oryza sativa), and teaweed (Sida spinosa). The second pot was planted with green foxtail (Setaria viridis), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), corn (Zea mays), soybean (Glycine max), and giant foxtail (Setaria faberii). The third pot was planted with wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris), wild oat (Avena fatua), viola (Viola arvensis), blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), and rape (Brassica napus). The plants were grown for approximately fourteen days, then sprayed postemergence with the chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent.

Test C

Corn & Sorghum Test

Postemergence

Six round containers (18 cm diameter) were filled with Sassafras sandy loam soil. One container was planted with corn and a second container with soybeans. Two containers were planted with the grass species sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), green foxtail (Setaria viridis), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), fall panicum (Panicum dichotomiflorum), crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) and nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus). Two containers were planted with the broadleaf species cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), ragweed (Ambrosia artemisifolia), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), and smartweed (Polygonum pensylvanicum). The plants were grown 10-21 days, dependent on the species and then sprayed postemergence with the chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent.

Preemergence

Six round containers (18 cm diameter) were filled with Tama silt loam soil. The same species described in the postemergence section were planted and sprayed with the chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent.

Evaluations

Treated plants and controls were maintained in the greenhouse for approximately 28 days. Treated plants were then compared with control plants and rated for plant response.

Response ratings are based on a scale of 0 to 100, where 0=no effect, and 100=complete control. A dash (-) response means no test. The results are in Table C.

POSTEMERGENCE GRASS CONTROL IN CORN

Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), shattercane (Sorghum bicolor), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii), quackgrass (Agropyron repens) and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli) were planted in 5" standard pots filled with Tama soil. Corn was planted in 7" pots filled with the same soil. When the corn was 12 days old, the shattercane, giant foxtail and barnyardgrass 14 days old, the johnsongrass 26 days old and the quackgrass 34 days old, they were all treated postemergence with the experimental material dissolved in a proprietary solvent. Twenty-three days after treatment, visual evaluation of plant injury was made. The results are shown in Table D.
